Native mobile app for iOS & Android
In progress Requested
Read, highlight, and organize on your phone with a real mobile app — not just the mobile browser version of the web app.
What's coming
- Share any article from any app on your phone straight into Web Highlights
- Sign in on the page if a site requires it, then highlight it in the reader or save it to your reading list
- A touch-first mobile highlighter built for phones — a bottom action bar, not a squeezed desktop UI
- Your whole library, highlights, and flashcards with you on the go — iPad included once iOS lands
Updates from the maker
Today the web app works in any mobile browser — your library, highlights, and flashcards are all there. What this request tracks is a real native app for iOS and Android, which would also unlock highlighting on iPad where Chrome extensions can't run.
This is officially in the works! A first working Android version already runs on my phone: share any article from any app into Web Highlights, sign in on the page if the site needs it, then highlight it in the reader or save it to your reading list — with a touch-first highlighter designed for phones instead of a squeezed desktop UI. iOS is planned next. I won't promise dates, but this is what I'm building right now — your votes help me prioritize what the app should do first.

“Native ios/ipados app to allow highlights on mobile browsers. Chrome extensions are not supported on iPad and I am unable to use web highlights. This is frustrating since I do a lot of my reading on my iPad.”
